The posters are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into a stagnant pool. Protest fatigue has crept in like a thief in the night, stealing the passion that fueled these movements. The promises made, both to themselves and to society, now echo hollowly in the empty streets.

- Whatever the reason remains to be seen.
- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the complexity of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we find new ways to fight of protest? Or will the movement fade away? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to speak out.
